People

We have been at ABO (Africa Based Orientation for the past 3 weeks learning about how to thrive in this new culture we now live in. The following statement which we have seen before was given again here and rings so true in our hearts.

Go to the people,

Live among them.

Learn from them.

Love them.

Start with what they know,

Build on what they have.

But of the best leaders,

When their task is accomplished,

Their work is done,

The people will remark,

“We have done it ourselves.”

Below are some pictures that I haven’t been able to upload until now. Click to enlarge. Enjoy.
